Famous quotes containing the words silver and/or coinage:
“Listen where thou art sitting
Under the glassy, cool, translucent wave,
In twisted braids of lilies knitting
The loose train of thy amber-dropping hair;
Listen for dear honour’s sake,
Goddess of the silver lake,
Listen and save.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“Designs in connection with postage stamps and coinage may be described, I think, as the silent ambassadors on national taste.”
